Browsers have become an OS within an OS, but they struggle to withstand the heavy workloads of modern teams. We’re proud to be taking Workona out of beta today to address the problem:
As another person suggested, you can use Chrome profiles with Workona installed on each, but that likely isn't what you're after.
By default Workona opens workspaces in the same window, but you can command-click (Mac) or control-click (Windows) to open a workspace in a new window.
This video will probably help:
Our workspaces (persistent windows with names) remember your tabs automatically, are multiuser/collaborative, and even have a URL (like any good web object). You can also access your workspaces on multiple computers, so you can start a project at work and finish it at home.
We're officially launching out of beta next month, but you can sign up now if you're interested:
Think of it as a way to save links organized in "workspaces" for a specific project or workflow rather than a traditional bookmark manager.
For example, if you were writing a blog post, you could create a workspace for the Google Doc, Wordpress page, Hemingway Editor, and all the research you might want to include in the post.
You can then shut the workspace and pick up right where you left off with everything you need to work on the blog post later. This way you don’t clutter up your bookmarks with links that will be irrelevant once you're done working on the project.
The intended initial set up flow is: - Create a workspace (+ button next to the word “Workspaces”) - Switch to the window with all your unsorted tabs - Drag and drop the tabs into your workspaces (multi-select coming soon)
Things get much easier once you’re set up. Workspaces are essentially smart browser windows, so you can just open a new (unsaved) window and browse like you normally do. If at any point you decide you want to save the window as a workspace, you simply click on our icon and give it a name.
Glad to hear that you like the search feature! Clicking on a workspace in the search results is very similar to what will happen when someone opens the workspace URL from a calendar invite, etc.
Your point about workspace naming is one we have considered carefully. We think it’s important to have a name to use as a handle to reference later or your workspaces quickly turn into your tab graveyard. The last thing we want is for people to say “I have no idea what any of this is.”
If you don’t want to give it a name, that’s fine, just don’t close the window. When you’re ready to close it, take a moment to give it a name you can remember it by, then shut it.
